Nowadays with fitness being mainstream people want to know what's going into their body and will it add extra pounds or will they have to sacrifice something later. I like a variety of mixed drinks. But for the modern spring and summer girl, a refreshing semi-sweet sangria may be the drink for you and is a perfect go-to for any occasion.

So onward to one of the most knowledge-based liquor store in Kentucky, Liquor Barn. While I was there, the manager educated me on most alcohol purchased is based on the area, income, and a cultural or an inherited taste.

Admittedly it’s nice to see the city flourishing around this time of year. In a small way, It does make me proud…Amongst the deadlock in west Louisville, Derby is THRIVING elsewhere in the city. The completion of the buildup of most of downtown Louisville has been completed, The Yum, the Convention Center, The Omni hotel, a SLEW of new restaurants, other hotels, bars, etc. And in the east ends of Louisville are the same build-ups, just on a smaller scale.

It was honestly one of the best brunches in the city I have ever had. From the atmosphere to the service, and most importantly the food. I will be returning this spring or summer to try and to review dinner and will probably make it a night out so I can partake in some of those bar drinks.

Apr 25 5 Best-Known Ways To De-Stress

We have all had a week or a month of stress. The kind of stress that mimics insanity and a hot bath does not seem to help. Dozens of educators, spiritual leaders, and mental health experts have developed different forms of meditation to try to alleviate some of our tension.

Many of us are stress eaters. We crave indulgent carbohydrates like cookies, candy, ice cream, pretzels, and other sweet and starchy foods when we're stressed, anxious, or tense. These foods can have a quick fix but it may have something to do with low serotonin levels during our ups and downs of life. Social media can give us some relief to get our mind off our problem and we often scroll upon a motivational post.

After scrolling your feed you may come to a point which makes you feel pathetic for wasting so much valuable time. And then there is music.

I'm a Huge fan of all genres of music. I love listening to music, concerts and music festivals but sometimes music can't relax me enough to just let go. Depending on the level of my stress it can be added noise inside my head. Many experts say, listening to soothing music can be very relaxing—and slow tempos. It can induce a calm state of mind. This can be particularly beneficial when you're getting ready for a tough day at work, or if you're in your car stuck in traffic.

As much as we try to fight the inevitable our emotions will take over. Stress, anxiety, and tension will cloud our better judgment, our positive vibe, and any motivational pep talk to keep us afloat. What I have found to help me get over my dark cloud is blending different types or test approaches until I find the right one.

The following five examples are some of the best-known ways to help me de-stress my life. And hopefully, it will help you too.

2. Exercise helps to boost endorphins and reduce stress—and research shows that 10 to 20 minutes each day is all that is needed to experience benefits. Take a walk at a nearby park and engage in the beauty that surrounds you.

3. Talk to a family member or close friend. Talking about your a situation out loud can relive some of the tension that is building up inside. Also, be open-minded to the advice you are given.

4. Find a spiritual or inner peace journey that is right for you. Read different books about spiritual awakening and take notes on key points that fit your lifestyle. You don't have to become a believer of what you read but it can provide some solace during a difficult time.

5. Self-Awareness check. Self-awareness is knowing what makes you tick. It’s understanding your own needs and desires, knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are, and being able to accurately assess your emotions.
